Greta a.k.a According to Greta, is a film about a suicidal girl being thrown to live with her grandparents (or grams as she calls it) because her mom felt that she needs to stay there while her mom patches up things with her relationships.
Greta (played by Hillary Duff from the Lizzie McGuire TV show) is about a girl who was angry with life, and has been contemplating suicidal thoughts.
But her perspective of life changes as she began finding new life living with her grandparents. She began dating when she started work in a restaurant.
I like the way the film show to unfold the mysteries of how Greta behaves the way she behaved. We were told about her childhood, about why she has suicidal thoughts, about how the family became dysfunctional.
Yeah, I do admit that at times, the film may be shallow, or not being too convincing. Yes, some people may say that watching you dad committing suicide won't affect you for life, and it could not be the reason why Greta became like that.
But the fact remains; that what we experience in our childhood will be impressed in our life and it will affect us throughout our adolescence and right into our adulthood.
Regarding Hillary Duff, I think this is a good break from her Lizzie era. However, I think some people will never shake off the idea that she will always be Lizzie, and that she can't act to be someone other than that.
All in all, a decent film, recommended to everyone who likes films that are not too intellectual, and at the same time not to cheesy.
